The stock of CSB Bank was listed on December 2019. Following a strong listing gain, the stock recorded a high of ₹313.5 but then started to decline.
Thereafter, it was on a medium-term downtrend until it registered a fresh low at ₹95.6 in late March this year.

But the stock met with a key resistance at around ₹240 in late August and began to move sideways with an upward bias. The price action from late August, until recently, appears to be forming an ascending triangle pattern with a horizontal line at ₹240.
On Friday, the stock jumped 7.9 per cent, accompanied by extraordinary volumes, decisively breaking above the significant resistance level as well as the horizontal line of the triangle at ₹240.
This breakout has strengthened the uptrend that had commenced from March lows; the short-term trend is also up. The stock trades well above the 50- and 200-day moving averages.
Both the daily and the weekly RSIs are featuring in the bullish zone, backing the stock’s rally.
